Let's be honest. Who do you think hit who first? I just don't see George as the kind of guy to chase down and attack trevon. If I'm a concealed weapon holder and I walk up and tell you to move your black ass can you legally hit me?Better minds than yours think otherwise. In a civilized nation we cannot allow killers to deprive someone of life and then accept the killer's version of events without question. The cost of a trial might be high but the loss of life with such disdain as you posit is more costly. A trial opened up the possibility that a crucial witness might step forward. It also exposed the lackadaisical ignorance or out right incompetence of the officer who failed to preserve evidence that was destroyed in the drizzling rain.I think the public demanded it. The trial should have happened but it should have been prosecuted by someone interested in justice… not someone who just went through the motions and bungled the job…seemingly, by design.Exactly. A ton of taxpayer money was wasted on a trial that never should have happened.
Of course the public demanded it. Due to the fact that the Race Grievance Industry made a ridiculous stink about it, backed up by a racist president and a racist AG. The public was mislead into thinking there was something there. There wasn't.
I hate stand your ground because I beat up a lot of guys back in my day. I could have been shot dead 100 times in my youth if I whipped a concealed weapons holder. They could start a fight then use a gun if they feel they are losing.
The point is, I don't believe he struck first. If he didn't he may have the right.
Lesson to be learned? We need to be more civilized. I never struck first. You don't put your hands on another person. You never know if they are strapping.
I still think George should have got ten years
In most states, when witnesses say you provoked someone into a fight and then shot and killed them, you'll be prosecuted. If there are no witnesses, you will be eating at McDonalds the very next day, free as a bird, unless some other evidence surfaces such as a surveillance camera video.
George did nothing provacative at all...he was merely doing what watchmen do...see a suspicious person and report it to the police.
Now undoubtely Trayvon was pissed of bout dat....that is on him. He ran away...he came back...that is on him. He suprised George and sucker punched him whilst George was on the phone...again that is trayvon....trayvon got hisself killed dat is on him.
